Archangel Uriel: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples|Appearances of {{PAGENAME}} in fiction include:}}

* He's featured in Leonardo Da Vinci's ''Virgin on the Rocks''.

 

* Appears in the ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'' drama CDs, as heroic and somewhat emo.

* In ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'', he's the patron of Vento of the Front and the source of her powers.

 

* The Marvel comics version of Uri-El is a hairless, yellow skinned humanoid with solid gray eyes, who wears long, bronze robes and is surrounded by an orange aura underneath them. He wields a red sword that seems to be made of some sort of energy and is known as the angel of redemption.

 

* He appears as an important recurring character in ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' from ''Small Favor'' onwards, and is credited with the slaying of the First Born of Egypt, and seen as the most subtle and powerful of the Archangels. Described as Heaven's assassin, spook, spymaster and doer of the gritty jobs involved in protecting free will. [[Oh Crap|Mab likes his style]].

** Harry reckons he's powerful enough to wipe out all life on Earth with very little effort.

* In ''[[Weaveworld]]'', the nigh-omnipotent entity Uriel claims to be an angel. It's probably wrong.

 

* Appears in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' as a [[Scary Black Man]] antagonist.

 

* Appears only in the [[backstory]] of ''[[In Nomine]]'', where he was called to the Higher Heavens (from which no being returns) in the Middle Ages after prosecuting a crusade against the creatures of myth and legend. His title in the game was "Archangel of Purity", and some of the other Archangels thought he was doing his job too well; although no one is exactly sure why he was recalled by God, some think that Uriel's being "called upstairs" was the only way to keep the other Archangels working together.

 

* Appears in a lot of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' games, sometimes as a boss.

 

* Appears as [[Lawful Evil|the Angel of Death]] in ''[[The Salvation War]]'' universe, and kills thousands of people in the second book, before being finally killed by the machinations of Michael who puts him at the lack of mercy of a large amount of fighter jets and several battleships, as well as a YAL-1 laser. This version is most definitely [[Made of Iron]], surviving numerous missiles, being microwaved by an exceptionally powerful radar and generally being shot.
